Instructions

1. Bring a steamer (or a pot with a steamer basket) half full of water to a boil over high heat.
2. Wash and peel the carrots and cut them into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Chop the basil, spearmint and parsley.
3. Put the ribbons in the steamer, cover and steam over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until tender but still a little firm in the center (al dente).
4. Let them cool slightly, transfer them to a bowl and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
5. Serve warm or hot, with or without salt. You can also make it with thin green beans or snow peas.
